Taylor Swift may have just dropped the title of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, but fans are convinced she also slipped in a far more personal hint that could point to wedding bells with Travis Kelce.
The book that launched a thousand theories
Swift’s announcement came in a 20-second preview clip with Travis and Jason Kelce. It teased her upcoming appearance on the New Heights podcast. The background showed blurred album art and several square objects in different colors with “T.S.” printed on them — clues fans believe may hint at vault tracks.
But what really set Swifties into detective mode was a book spotted just over Taylor’s left shoulder. Titled Casa Wabi, it’s dedicated to a nonprofit art foundation in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. While primarily known for exhibitions and community programs, the striking seaside property is a nonprofit foundation, but exceptions are known to be made for weddings, including ceremonies in 2019 and this year.
With its swimming pool facing the beach, mountains in the other direction, and an observatory, used for weddings but primarily for meditation and reflection, Casa Wabi’s modernist design by Japanese architect Tadao Ando has already hosted ceremonies featured in Vogue. The location is so exclusive, weddings there aren’t advertised, only arranged by special request.
“We are delighted that Casa Wabi’s new book is in her video,” the foundation told Daily Mail in a statement. “We would love to invite her to visit Casa Wabi and learn all the community work we do.”
Engagement chatter is nothing new
Rumors of a Swift-Kelce wedding have been swirling since the couple went public in late 2023. Chiefs coach Andy Reid has joked about preparing a wedding speech.
Now, the Casa Wabi cameo has Swifties convinced the singer is up to her usual Easter egg tricks, embedding personal clues in plain sight.
Even sports fans are joining in the fun, pointing out that engagement odds in betting circles have reportedly spiked since the clip aired.
Album excitement — and a love story in the spotlight
Of course, the official news is still Swift’s upcoming 12th studio album. The Life of a Showgirl will be available for pre-order in multiple formats, with each edition promising unique cover art.
But the backdrop of her reveal, seated beside Travis and chatting with Jason Kelce, gave fans a rare, cozy look at the couple’s off-camera chemistry. And whether the Casa Wabi book was a deliberate hint or a stylish coincidence, it has undeniably fueled the narrative that music’s reigning queen and football’s golden boy may have more than one milestone on the horizon.
For now, both are focused on the weeks ahead. Swift on her album rollout and Kelce on the Chiefs’ season opener on September 5 in São Paulo, Brazil, against the Los Angeles Chargers, but Swifties are watching closely. Because if Taylor really did just drop a wedding clue, this love story might be heading for its biggest chorus yet.
